5 Sparkly Fashion Finds

If you can’t shimmer?in December, when can you? Here are five gorgeous sparkly fashion fixes …

Getting my ears pierced has been on my to-do list for about 6 months! These gorgeous silver disc earrings are inspiring me to get on with it. The disc design feels modern but not austere. Perfect for Christmas.

Silver earrings, Saskia Diez, €85 at net-a-porter.com

This top is such a great price. It has a deep V at the back so is even more glamorous than it appears here. I love how it’s been styled with athleisure-style trousers. The best way to work sequins and a backless design is to ensure everything else about your look is low-key, including your hair.

Sequinned top, €29.99 at H&M

In December I feel like adding sparkle to my look even when I’m walking my dog. This is the perfect piece! These days, sequins work with almost everything.?I’d also wear this with a skirt if I wanted to downplay its femininity.

These coloured gems completely reinvent a simple pair of black leather gloves. This kind of attention to detail can really elevate an outfit. These are a great buy regardless of the season that’s in it.

Jewel gloves, €99 at uterque.com

I love the simplicity of this T-shirt.?It offers just a touch of sparkle but it still reimagines?nicely the traditional Breton style top. Stripes are key for SS17 so this will work for you right through next year.
